Once again, the end of the year is upon us. The festive season is often marked with relaxation and gift giving to all those who showed up for us in the course of the year and made our lives as creatives bearable, or fun as the case may be.
This isn’t a minute too early, as it’s never too soon to begin planning especially considering the hyper-inflation currently being faced by Nigeria’s economy. As always, for all things art inspired, we’ve got you.
This is the first part of our gift guide for end of the year presents for your artsy geng. (watch this space)
